Me and Daniel, who is awesome! :)

Daniel and his little brother Timothy.
Buzz and Stephanie and I. These have to be some of the sweetest people I know!
I absolutely LOVED getting to spend a night with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Bonnie. I love my Uncle and Aunt! We had lots to talk about and catch up on.
And of course got to see one of my favorite people, Hannah. Unfortunately since I was only in FL 2 days I just got to hang out with her for a few hours before I left for the airport, but it was fun to catch up in person for a little while. Love you guys!!!
One thing I learned is 2 nights in FL is WAY too short. There were so many people and more family that I really wanted to see and wasn't able to. : / Hopefully next time.
Love you Mema, and hope you had an awesome birthday!! We sure enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing you for Thanksgiving!

Loved getting to see all your pics from your trip. Haven't been on blogs in forever, because we don't have the internet set up in the family room yet, so I was doing some catching up today!!
